All RNA requires storage at -80C to slow degradation.
That said, you could probably ship it overnight on dry ice at -78C (dry ice temp), to inoculation centers and store it during the day at -20C (regular freezer) with little increase in degradation.

Speaking of the pfizer vaccine, what other vaccines / treatments require storage and transport at -103F?
I'm sure there are other bio treatments that do, just curious on ability to effectively distribute and or damage the efficacy of the treatment.
Saw a news report today talking about the shipping containers. Good to store for a month, if you open it twice a day for 1 minute. Vials can be removed and stored at normal.freezer for up to five days.
That is much more manageable, the shipping box basically looked like a meat shipping box.
Hopefully theyre much better about keeping the vaccine at proper temp them they are keeping !eat frozen.
